Kathie, in my experience the micron pens will smear a bit. I've purchased
unstrung pre-cut tyvek tags from Gaylord.
(http://www.gaylord.com/adblock.asp?abid=16335
<http://www.gaylord.com/adblock.asp?abid=16335&search_by=desc&search_for=tyv
ek%20tag&mpc=WW&catalog=&target=>
&search_by=desc&search_for=tyvek%20tag&mpc=WW&catalog=&target=) Packs of 100
sell in the $5.00 range. Zig millennium pens work well and the ink does not
smear on the tyvek. http://www.markersupply.com/zigmima.html. We've then
strung our tags as needed with glide dental floss. Tyvek tags can also be
stitched onto textiles.
They are water resistant and pest resistant but we've found that they melt
like a reverse shrinky dink during our controlled burns.

Hi Tyvek posters. Thanks for these great sources. I haven't used these tags
before. This is perhaps a dumb question, but what do you use to write on
these? I'm guessing it's a slick, coated surface. Will my Micron archival
pens work?
Thanks!
